For those who have read the Sword of Truth series...?
Do you think Richard Rahl/Cypher is a Gary Stu? In the first three books, I thought he was the s#!+, but my opinion of him has changed a lot since then. I'm currently reading The Pillars of Creation, so I haven't finished the series yet and he may have this big flaw I haven't read about yet... but my Gary Stu senses have been tingling lately. He was made out to be humble, kind, honest, strong, intelligent, handsome, an awesome swordsman, and then all of a sudden he finds out he's a wizard too! Not only is he a wizard, he's a wizard with both additive and subtractive powers, pretty much the potential to be the strongest being in the world! Not only that, women are constantly fawning over him! Though, I should also add that he seems to have lost his modesty somewhat. I actually kind of think he is arrogant in the later books. In one of the books he was preaching about morality throughout nearly the entire thing - I seriously got the feeling that I was reading John Galt's speech all over again. Anyway... I don't mean to bash the series or anything - I still enjoy reading the books to an extent - but does anyone have the same feelings as me? What happened to the protagonist? :( I still love Zedd though! :)
